Panasonic DMC-LS2 operating instructions Preventing jitter camera shake, Party P51, Exposure

Basic

We recommend taking pictures using AF/ AE lock.

•Even when the focus indication appears and the subject is focused, it is canceled if you release the shutter button. Press the shutter button halfway again.

∫Preventing jitter (camera shake)

•Be careful of jittering when pressing the shutter button.

•If jitter could occur because of slow shutter speed, the jitter alert A appears.

F2.8 1/10

•When the jitter alert appears, we recommend using a tripod. If you cannot use a tripod, be careful how you hold the camera (P24). The use of the self-timer prevents jittering caused by pressing the shutter button when you are using a tripod (P41).

•Shutter speed will be slower particularly in the following cases. Keep the camera still from the moment the shutter button is pressed until the picture appears on the screen. We recommend using a tripod.

–Slow sync./Red-eye reduction (P38)

–[NIGHT PORTRAIT] (P50)

–[NIGHT SCENERY] (P50)

–[PARTY] (P51)

–[CANDLE LIGHT] (P51)

–[FIREWORKS] (P52)

–[STARRY SKY] (P52)

–When the shutter speed is slowed in [SLOW SHUTTER] (P64)

∫Exposure

•If you press the shutter button halfway when the exposure is not adequate, the aperture value and the shutter speed turn red. (They do not turn red when the flash is activated.)

•The brightness of the screen may differ from the brightness of the recorded pictures especially when recording in low light conditions.

•When most of the subjects on the screen are bright (e.g. a blue sky on a clear day, a snowy field etc.), the recorded pictures may become dark. In this case, compensate the exposure value on the camera. (P42)
